Ugh: Objecting to ambassador gig for Anna Wintour is now ‘sexism’

Cripes! A vagina is a body part, not a pitiful excuse that insulates a woman from any and all criticism. Or it was. Call it The Susan Rice Effect: Now any criticism of a woman up for a White House appointment is ZOMG sexist!!11!1!

Now that Obama is reportedly considering Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour for a sweet gig as U.S. ambassador to the U.K. or France, loyal Slate lapdog Matt Yglesias is wasting no time in attributing objections to hatred of women (and sexist “prejudice” against the fashion industry).

Here we go.If you don’t want Anna Wintour being an Amb because she is AWFUL and a poor rep of our country, you’re a sexist. Just so you know
